Developer Klei Entertainment is best known for their work on the Shank series, a pair of bloody beat-em-ups that are best described as Tarantino’s take on Double Dragon. The hero, aptly named Shank, flies through the air, brutally gutting an enemy with a chainsaw while emptying a few shotgun rounds into another.
On the other hand, Mark of the Ninja has the makings of a stealth game through and through. It’s a ninja game that never forgets that ninjas are the masters of shadows and silence, and it never eschews stealth-based mechanics for over-the-top action sequences. Though it might sound like the “anti-Shank” on paper, Mark of the Ninja is more of a spiritual successor. It expertly blends the silky-smooth (and not to mention gory) 2D animation that Klei is known for with some of the best stealth gameplay, making it a strong contender for best Xbox Live Arcade Game of the Year.
Mark of the Ninja truly makes its stealth gameplay shine, despite being a sidescroller. How did they pull it off?
The best game Klei ever made until they went only started making early access games.
While everyone likes to play the latest shooter, and mess around in the biggest open world game, not everyone has the gaming system that's up to the task.
Fuzzy Pixels takes a look at five of the best stealth games ever made.
I know it is only an opinion but neither Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, or Tenchu: Stealth Assassins make the list?
my god who is accepting these videos? Metal Gear solid? really? Dishonored,too? No, Chaos Theory either. Such a terrible list.
So what would you say is a great stealth game, then-- Uncharted 3? Lol! If played as Kojima intended, you can finish the game without being discovered AND without a single kill.
Did you miss Chaos Theory in my comment? Kojima is a hack, a fraud and bad writer and a mediocre game designer evident by Metal Gear Solid series.
PS, far better stealth games have allowed the player to ghost through the game.
